2011-11-15 – At “ground zero” in lower Manhattan, two empty
spaces will be filled by water cascades, memorializing in a serene and
respectful way the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001. Next to them, a powerful tower, designed by the architect
Daniel Libeskind and nearly completed, rises vigorously into the sky,
a symbol of the triumph of life over the forces of death. One word
comes to mind to characterize the impression made by this place, the
site of an unprecedented crime: resilience.
In a building that houses what will one day be a memorial museum,
one can buy a DVD entitled “9/12: From Chaos to Community.”
Ground Zero is the architectural and human proof that, despite
America’s current economic woes, it would be premature, if not
dangerous, to write the country off as a declining power. America has
the moral and intellectual resources that it needs in order to rebound.
But what is necessary is not sufficient. In order to reinvent itself, if
not to manage its relative international decline, America must
proceed toward a rebalancing of its domestic and international
priorities. In the immediate aftermath of World War I, a triumphant
America withdrew from global responsibility, with tragic
consequences for the balance of power in a Europe that was left to
face its inner demons alone.
In the aftermath of World War II, by contrast, the US managed
successfully to contain Soviet ambitions. Today, unlike in 1945,
Americans do not confront an imminent threat. Russia may speak
loudly (using its permanent seat on the United Nations Security
Council as a megaphone), but it is a greatly reduced rump of the
